Copper salts – Assume that, in this question, the cation-to-anion size ratio should be in the 0.25 – 1 range and that all compounds adopt cubic cells. a) The chloride atoms are in tetrahedral holes in copper(I) chloride (Copper has +1 charge). Draw the unit cell of copper(I) chloride. b) Propose a unit cell for copper(II) chloride (Copper has +2 charge) and draw. c) Determine the coordination numbers for copper and chloride atoms in copper(II) chloride. d) Compare the densities of copper(I) chloride and copper(II) chloride. e) Compare the lattice parameters for copper(I) chloride and copper(II) chloride. f) Propose a unit cell for copper(I) sulfide (Copper has +1 charge) and draw. g) Determine the coordination numbers for copper and sulfide atoms in copper(I) sulfide.
